Comment (by omarreiss):

 Thanks @jaswrks!

 - @herregroen has worked on optimizing the watch process. After the
 initial build he has managed to bring rebuilding down from 20 to 5
 seconds. The goal is to get under 1 second.
 - I am working on documentation surrounding the patch. Work in progress
 available here:
 https://gist.github.com/omarreiss/4d6ec6257e55ab64f189c3a1680336a8, but
 it’s still a work in progress. Working from one document, but this will
 probably end up as multiple pages on the handbook. Would be nice if
 @jorbin / @adamsilverstein / @pento would be willing to give it a first
 look already, just to check if I am heading in the right direction.
 - @jorbin gave some feedback in #core-js on my approach of the qunit
 tests. Will process that before I upload a new patch.

 Will try to upload a new patch shortly which:
 - Includes a faster `grunt watch`.
 - Fixes inconsistencies that were still left between the builds.
 - Fixes the qunit tests.
 - Includes an initial draft of the documentation needed.

 Once that is done, I would like to discuss the next steps needed to move
 this forward.
